Ultimate Performance, Ultimate ProtectionModern fixed-and rotary-wing aircraft components run at higher temperatures and use new fuels and

lubricants that require more advanced liquid filtration technologies. Specifically, modern aviation systems

require pristine fuel and lubrication so that system pumps and injectors can operate effectively, achieve

better combustion, and lower emissions. Donaldson liquid filtration systems protect fluid circuits—such

as hydraulic, coolant, fuel, lube/oil and transmission fluid components—from destructive contaminants.

Donaldson liquid filtration ranges in complexity—from a simple t-type

manifold to a complex, multiple circuit filter manifold assembly—

which may include an intricate head design, multiple filter bowls, filter

elements, bypass valves, shut-off valves, check valves, fluid sampling

ports, and differential pressure indicators. Whatever platform powers your military or commercial

aircraft, custom-designed liquid filtration solutions from Donaldson are lightweight, require minimal

service and help lower the total cost of ownership.

Donaldson fuel filters are manufactured using advanced technology processes.
